what he considered to be an illegality. Ile thought it could not depend on numbers, but on the designs, actions, and words of the parties.— (llcar, hear.) The Duke of WELLINGTON —My Lords, I will venture to state the opinion I have had from great authorities en the subject; it is, that the numbers of the meeting—that is to say the assembling in such num. hers as shall create terror in the minds of any peaceable man—will jus tify the magistrates in taking innFures to disperse such meeting. My Lords, I want to know if the magistrates are justified in taking such measures ; I want to know from the Noble Baron who has just sat down whether the meeting Is not an illegal meeting ? I now come to the ques tion put by my Noble Friend to the Noble Lord opposite. He asks whether any means have been adopted in order to put an end to these meetings in Ireland? What has been done already ? What does the Noble Lord the Lord Lieutenant say in answer ? My, Lords, he says that these meetings ore not iilegal meetings—he says that they may be_ come so, and that the Government arc attending to them with a view to prevent any irregularity and disorder. The Noble Lord takes upon binielf a serious responsibility when he says they are legal meetings ; and, my Lords, I veak in the presence of those who can correct me if I say anything that is not consistent with the law and practice of the coubtry ; but I say that meeting in such numbers as to create terror constitutes an tic gal meeting, and justifies the magistrates in putting it dear, Lord BROUGHAM thought this question one of great importance. He was exceedingly loth to be dragged into the discussion of what was or was not the law--(Hear, hear)—and he must say that he greatly lamented that the course take). by the Noble Earl (Glengall) had ren dered it almost inevitable, whether he would or not, that he should enter into the question. Now, what did the Noble Lord do ? He put a question to the Noble Earl (Mulgrave) in a shape which all lawyers and Judges most unequivocally condemned—he mooted an ab stract proposition as to whether a given thing not before the House was legal ? They had now been dragged into that question, and, though he wished to avoid it, yet he was bound to say that he could not agree, on the one hand, to understand the law of the land to be that thebare ac cident of t here being a more numerous attendance than might have been expected, or desired, or desirable—that that accident should constitute the illegality; but, wishing to avoid mooting that question, which, by-the-by, had never as yet been decided by any Court, although there were in the books many dicta of the Judges, but more one way than another, for though the bare numbers were ever so num roux, it must be metus qui habet in constantem virum—the fear must be experienced by " a constant and firm mind," and the meeting be of 200,000 in Salisbury Plain, for the Judges had said that if there were a meeting of all the males in England on Salisbury Plain that then suc'i a meeting would be illegal, for it could only be presumed that there was the intention as well as the tendency from the fact of the gathering of some illegal object. But, wishing to avoid that question, there was one thing in which they must all agree. If these meetings were strictly legal they were deeply to be deprecated, and of this he ould have no doubt, because if the object of the meeting were delibe ration And discussion, to assemble in thousands when certainly not above 10,000 of 10,000 could hear what was passing, was very much to be deprecated. He could only repeat what he had said on a former occa sion when he was applied to by a Noble Lord with respect to the ille. gality of the enormous meeting held at Birmingham. He stated then, as he did now, the numbers that did constitute the illegality, but that no ptrson could do otherwise than lament such an enormous congrega tion, which might very soon become illegal, and opposed to anything like decorum. ,Lord FITZGER A I.D said that if he had used worth gloomy, sad, and soicmn they were not unsuited to the subject on which he spoke, or the feelings of those who were interested in the peace of their country. The Etrl of WICKLOW said there was one thing of which there could be doubt. If a party stated on his oath that he thought danger would arise from the meeting it was the duty of the Magistrates to put it down. Lord BROUGHAM said that the whole question depended on the the circumstances. The number of persons present was one circum stance, and a very material circumstance—perhaps the most material circumstance ; but then it was not all. The Earl of WICKLOW intended to say that if sufficient informa tion were adduced before a magistrate to prove that danger might arise, then th e meeting became illegal. Lord BROUGHAM said it was clear the Noble Earl could not have meant anything else. After a faw words from the Earl of GLENGALL and the Earl of Mut t:R.4,M the subject dropped. The Court of Session Bill (Scotland) passed through Committee, and was reported, with amendments, to the House. OATHS VALIDITY BILL. On the bringing up the report, Lord DENMAN would first state the inconvenience which had given rise to the measure, and the manner in which it had been brought to light. Dr. Cook, the President of the Synod of Ulster, had been robbed, and when the trial came on the late Chief Baron for Ireland expressed some doubt as to whether he could receive his evidence in a Court of Justice. The Presbyterians of Ulster swore not by kissing the book, but by lifting up the hand. The point was reseived for the opinion of the twelve Judges of Ireland, who ultimately decided that the doubts of the Chief Baron were welt founded, and that such witnesses were not admissible in a Court of Justice. He (Lord Denman) did not presume to give an opinion on the subject , but when he found that swearing by lifting the hand had, in many cases, taken place in this country, and that in fact the practice was stated in almost every text book, he must confess that he WAS rather surprised at the decision of those learned personages. On the general question he would refer their Lord. shipa to the case of - v. Barker, in which the point of receiving the oath of an Hindoo in a manner utterly abhorrent to Christianity was argued. The arguments of Lord Mansfield and Sir Dudley Ryder no Noble Lord could read without feelings of admiration. The conscience of the individual was the law of swearing. His object in introducing this Bill was to get rid of the inconvenience arising out of the decision of the Irish Judges in the case which he had instanced to their Lord. ships. The Quakers were the first to whose conscientious scruples re specting an oath relief was afforded. It was next extended to the Mora viant.and the separatists. The Moravians, as a sect, were well known, but he was not for his own part aware of any body of Separatists. Who. ever in a Court of Justice could sry I am a Moravian, a Quaker, or a Separatist, purchased by such a declaration the right to give his testi. mony upon affirmation only, without the intervention of an oath. Now by his connexions. The person to whom be alluded was Mr . Hinsley Wedgewood, the son.in daw of the late lamented Sir James Mack intosh. Mr. 'Wedgewood had resigned his situation as police magistrate in consequence of his conscientious objection to the taking of oaths. Another of the names appended to the petition was that of a Clergy man, Mr. Scott, of Plumpstead Common. It was well known that great r,bstecles to the process of justice arose from the scruples against taking of oaths. At the last Liverpool Assizes there were persons br tytt to trial for violently assaulting and severely beating certain par- ties, but the prosecutor objected to be sworn. The Learned Judge be_ fora whom the case was brought for trial, hoping it would be made to come within the provisions made in favour of the Society of Friends, consented to receive the evidence, reserving the point of admissibility for the decision of the twelveJudgcs, who, however, decreed that the parties giving evidence only on affirmation could not be admissible as witnesses. Here, then, was another case in which the offending parties escaped thrcrigh the scruples of the persona proseeuting. There were many other instances in which persons whose testimony w,ruld be entitled to the highest respect, and who would be considered tha very hest witnesses, were excluded from giving evidence in consequence of their comcien_ tints scruples. tinder these circumstances, and with a view to remedy the evils arising (font them, lie had been induced to introduce the second clause ; and Ile thought he had made out a case for the petitioners, eri titliag them to the same measure of relief which had already been granted in the case of the Society of Friends and others. Toe Earl of WICKLOW objected strongly to the second clause, he_ caust it enabled an) , person who said he had an objection to the taking of an oath to give evirtetive on affirmation. With respect to.the case of Dr. Cook, he admittel that it would be desirable to have any doubt which existsd upon that point cleared op. He would not consent to a clause which would have the effect of abolishing oaths altogether. He had read tire amendment intended to lie proposed by the Right Bev. Prelate (she Bishop of Exeter), arid if this Bill should pass, he would vote for the Right Rev. prclate's amendment, as calculated to do much in the way of remedying the evils which the clause would give rise to. The Bishop of EXETEH said the amendment which it was his inten. lion to propose would, lit Lis opinion, he calculated to meet more fairly the purpose for which the Noble and Learned Lord introduced the Bill. The words in the Bill of the Noble and Learned Lord were, " I solemnly end sincerely declare that I feel a conscientious objection to the taking of at. oath." His (Biettt.p of Exeter's) objection to this was not that it granted relief to persons having conscientious scruples with respect to taking oaths, but that it omitted aoy mention of religion. The amendment which he intended to substitute was this :—" I, A B, do solemnly and dine: rely declare, that I believe in my conscience the taking of an oath to be contrary to the law of God." That amendment would, in his opi. nion, relieve all those persons contemplated in the Bill of the Noble and Learned Lord. Toe Duke of WELLINGTON said, with respect to the amendment proposed by the it gLt Reverend Pre'ate, he would support it in the pre. se , n state of the Bill, in preference to the existing clause, but he would at a future period move the omission of the clause altogether, or if not, he would move that the P.lll he thrown out altogether on the third reading. The Duke of RICHMOND c o ld not vote for the present measure If this measure ',Assad, it would be tantamount to one which he had al. ways opposed in that House—namely, the Bill for the admiesion of Jews to earliament.--( [Tear, hear.) That measure would thus be carried by A I le Wind, The Bishop of LONDON would suggest to the Noble and Learned Lord to divide the Eill into two parts, and pass the first clause thiases aims, and to take time with the secornE The advantage proposed might perhaps thus be secured and the evils apprehended might be avoided He would at the same time recommend a revival, either in the present or in the ensuing sessiod, of the Committee which sat to consider the tin ation of Oaths --(Hear, hear.) The Earl of HADDINOTON concurred with the Right Rev. Pre late and the two Noblo Dukes in thinking that there could be no dif ference of opinion with r6pect to the first clause. The Bishop or EXETER had no objection to see the clause altogether omitted, the object of his amendment being merely to render the clause more safe in case of the Bill passing. Lord LYNDHUIIsT proposed that the second clause should be omitted. Lon DEN NIA N 114t1 no objection to the omission of all the clauses exctlit the first. The omission of all the clauses except the first was then agreed to, and the Bill read a third time and passed. The 'louse then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Juxn 14. The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly before Four o'clock. Mr. Kmnx, the new Member for Dungannon, was introduced by Capt. WOOD and Col. JONE S , and took the oaths and his seat for that place. FARRINGDON-STREET IMPROVEMENT BILL. Sir MATTHEW WOOD moved the third reading of the Farringdonl'Sireet Improvement Bill. Mr. WILLPA MS said he objected to this Bill on a former occaion, and the objection which he then stated had not only not been removed, but very greatly increased. He then stated that the length of the proposed new street would extend to 350 "yards, but he found he was mistaken, a n d th a t it was only 150 yards. H o Was led into that error by seeing a statement in one of the clauses, that a plan of the proposed new street would be found i n G u ildh a ll . O n i nspect i ng t h at plan be found it carried the street 350 yards, but on looking into the Br!! he fou.ld it was only 150 yards. The line pro posed according to the plan exhibited, went to Peter-street. He fOund the line proposed by the Bill of the worthy Alder man went into 21 street very little b e tt er , called \Vest-street. That street led into one of the worst streets in Lon don, called Field-lane. And another part of `Vest-st reet led int o Smithfield, and the whole width of it there was just two yards and a half. He would ask of what utility this Bill could be which went only IA yards? When he ob jected to the Bill before, the Hon. Alderman was most anxious that it should go into Committee, and he (Mr. W.) allowed it to do so f or the purpose of its absurdity being discovered. Now he (M r . W.) attended that Committee, and doubtless the House wou ld b e surprised when h e i n f or med it, that the :seventy-eight c l auses i n t h e Bill went t h roug h Committee in twenty-two minutes and a half. He did not believe that a Ytiegle individual in th a t H ouse k new any thing of the Bill. A v enquiry before a Committee under such Circumstances was' a perfect farce, and the merits of a Bill eotahl not be covsidered; addel to which, when the clauses of to 1341 I were gone through, only four gentlemen weirs present. He would venture to assert that the Bill, instead of being of any utility, would be an absolute nuisance. His greatest objec tion, however, to the measure was, that to accomplish so use less an object, the Hon. Alderman proposed to mot tgage one of the most obnoxious taxes the City of London levied upon the people—he meant the tax upon the carts of non-freemen. The lion. Alderman wanted to raise 60,0001. upon the mort gage of this abominable tax, which amounted to between 3,0001. and 4,0001. a year, so that they would perpetuate it almost for ever; and he was well aware that many of the Common Council of London were very anxious to abolish the impost. He hoped the House would not lend itself to one of the grossest jobs which had ever been attempted to he foisted on the House. He therefore moved that the Bill be read a second time that day three months. Mr. HALL seconded the motion. Sir M. WOOD said his Hon. Friend must have heard re ports of the fever being in the neighbourhood, for he had been trying all in his power, during the last week, to get hum there to see what the improvements would be, but without avail, otherwise he was sure he would never have opposed that which would be one of the greatest improvements which had ever been proposed either in the city of London or the county of Middlesex ; and in answer to his Hon. Friend he had to say that he expected if the Bill were passed, notices would be given for carr3ing the street up to Clerkenwell. The fund which his lion. Friend had alluded to was the fund cf the Corporation—it was their own money, and the Corpo ration were willing to part with it for this purpose. The Coporation was willing to lay out 60,0001. to carry out this improvement ; and in answer to the objection of his Ho nourable Friend that this Bill would prevent the improvement of Holborn-hill, he begged to say it would lead to it. If this improvement were effected there would be a direct com munication to the north-western parts of London, and a deal of wretchedness and filth be removed, and not a soul would have to pay one shilling towards it but the Corporation of London. Mr. HALL said the object of the Bill was to continue a most objectionable tax, and to mortgage that tax in such a way so that it could not be repealed hereafter even by the Cor poration of London, if they themselves desired it. The real effect and the real object of the tax was, that if any body were to go with a cart to Smithfield market, and were they to buy the smallest quantity of provision of the smallest possible value, a tax would be put on it by the Corporation. With regard to the object of the Bill, he thought that would be of very little good to the public. It was true that the Corporation would widen the street in part, but the terminus would be in a narrow lane. As for his Hon. Friend's supposition that the Chapter of Ely would give up their land for nothing, he thought that would be very extraordinary. It was not likely that the members of that body would give away their property for the improvement of the city of London. The effect of mortgaging the very objectionable tax in question, would be to put it out of the power of the Corporation to put an end to it, if they should desire to do so. There was a Committee sitting upon the Metropolis Improvement Bill, and a Bill for rebuild ' : ing the Royal Exchange had also been referred to a Committee. It wouldhave been much better that the extensivve improvement under consideration had been submitted to either of those Committees. But he did not think that the proposed altera tion would be of any advantage to the city, whilst the tax by which it was to be effected was highly objectionable to the in habitants of the metropolis at large. Mr. CRAWFORD thought that the House ought not to refuse to permit the Corporation of the City of London to apply its legitimate sources of income to public improvements. The reason why his Hon. Friend and Colleague had not sub mitted this improvement to the Committees alluded to, was that the improvement was merely local, and the expenses were were to be defrayed by the Corporation itself. Mr. HGME was as much against unequal taxation as any man. But if this Bill were rejected, would the tax on non- Freemen be got rid of ? Not at all. Was it not a great public advantage to obtain a road from Blackfriars bridge up what was called Old Fleet Market, to the north part of the City of London ?—( Hear, hear.) The effect of the Bill would be to carry this important object into execution, as Parliamentary authority was required for that purpose. He hoped that at some future period—perhaps before long—the Corporation might be prepared to abolish this tax, and to defray the expences attendant on this Bill, from some other of its funds.—( Hear.) But as nothing would be gained from opposing, this Bill but stopping a great public improve. ment, he should give the Bill his support.—( Hear.) Sir F. TRENCH agreed in what had fallen from the lion. Member for Kilkenny. He was ever ready to sup port public improvernents.—( Hear.) And he hoped to live to see the consummation of that object for which he had long since exerted considerable efforts—the construction of a quay on the north bank of the Thames, from Blackfriars to West minster.—( Hear.) Mr. WILLIAMS seeing the feeling of the House was in favour of the Bill, withdrew his amendment. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. On the motion of Sir M. WOOD, the Metropolitan Sus pension Bridge Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion of Sir G. STRICKLAND, the Luton and St. Albans Road Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion of the same lion. MEMBER, the Dudley Hill and Killinghall Road Bill wasalso read a third time and passed. RROAD_BILL. - S - e j veral petitions were presented by Mr. BELOTHERTON and other Members against tile Bill. Mr. LOWTHER moved that the third reading of the Bill should be adjourned to Monday, as it was his intention to move a clause by way of rider. Sir G n STRICKL AND objected of the postponement of tl.e third reading, as he believed that the clause intended to he proposed by the Honourable Member, if adopted, would have the effect of throwing out the Bill in another place. He must therefore persevere in his motion, that the Bill do pass. The SPEAKER put it to the House, whether the exemp tion intended to be given by the clause of the Hon. Member was not of too important a character to be introduced upon the-question that the Bill do pass? Mr. LO wTHER then moved that the debate be adjourned till Monday next. Mr. BAINES said the Trustees were not wishing for any additional toils, and they were willing to g iv e an y guarantee in their power, that they would not in fact impose any new toll, bat they were told that if the Bill went up to the House of Lords with an exemption clause in it, it would infallibly be lost. The loss of the Bill would deprive a very populous neighbour hood of a read that was very advantageous to them, to kt that road fell into disuse for want of funds to keep it up, and! to place the whole neighbourhood in a disadvantag,eoui situation. Every Member of tile Committee to whom the' i Bill was referred, acquiesced in the arrangement, and the; neater having- been very fully discussed, he was sure the, House would not think it very judiciou, to take the matter out ' of the hands of the Committee, and to place it on a footing: that would destroy the chance of the Bill passing. Mr. BR OT 11 E RTON thought the Hen. Member fur ; Leeds had stated the best reason fur the postponenkeu of the Bill. Lord G. SOMERSET said the present discussion Will t strongest argument against any Clause being introduced at such a late stage of the Bill, and nothing but vetbal amend ments ought to be introduced at so late a perks'. Lord Al OR,PETII recommended that his lion. Friend ( Sir G. Strickland) should act upon the suggestion that the Bill be postponed to Monday next. The third reading of the Bill was then postponed to Monday next. DUKE OF NORFOLK'S ESTATE BILL. Captain PE CIIE L L moved the second reading of the Duke of Norfolk's Estate Bill, which was agreed to, and the Bill was referred to the Sussex list. RUGBY AND LU'I"TERWORTH ROAD BILL. The Rugby and Lutterworth Road Bill was tend a third time and passed. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1838. PILOTAGE. Mr. PEASE presented petitions from several Steam Boa Companies in favour of the Pilotage Bill i. INGL CS presented a petition from the Arch• deaconry and Clergy of Stafford, against the Eeelesi4stica; Mr. MACKINNON presented a petition from Learning too, in favour of the Patent Inventions Bill. Lord D UNGANNON presented a petition from the Arch deactmry and Clergy of Durham, against certain parts of the Benefices Plurality Bill. Mr. MACKINNON gave notice that he should move an amendment an the 42,1 clause of the Benefices' Pluralities Bill. Lord DUNG A NNON also gave notice of his intention to ►nwe the insertion of a Clause. Capt. PECHELL gave notice that it was his intention on Monday to niovo for a return of the dtries cn windows. An tION. Mete wished to ask the Secretary for the Board of Trade what course was intended to be taken relative to the Pilotage Bill ? Mr. LABOUCHERE said that it was intended to :novo the recommittal of the fill pro forma, in order to make consi derable alterations. . Sir F. TRENCH wished to knew whether the Noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland, was enabled now to give any in formation as to the reason why a person of the name of Parker, who had prosecuted an. individual to conviction for a great outrage, had been only paid half the reward. If the Noble Lord were not prepared to give any information, he Sir F. Trench could lay several letters before him that he had re ceived, which might assist him in doing so. Lord MORPETH said he had a report from the Chief Officer of the Constab&ary force in Ireland, from which it ap peared that Parker having rofewd to lodge the necessary h.. formation, and acting also as an unwilling witness, it was thought half the reward was quite sufficient. Sir S. CANNING gave notice that at the sitting of the House to-morrow he would put a question relative to papers connected with the seizure of the Vixen, Mr. Sergeant JACKSON wished to ask the Noble Lord if he were prepared to answer why it was that Lane, who had given information for which a reward of 501. was offered, had been refused such•reward. Lord MO RP ETH said he had a reprint of the case, from which it appeared that Lane applied for the reward, which, in the usual course, was referred to the Crown Solicitor, who re ported that he had no claim to it. About three months ego, he applied to the Stipendiary Magistrate, who also reported that Lane had no claim at all to the reward, as be had very hesitatingly given his evidence, and also tampered with the principal witness, which prevented a conviction. Mr. Serjeant JACKSON said the reward was 'offered for information, which was given, and the party taken up upon it. Lord MORPETH repeated his statement. TRENCI - ; gave notice that, on Monday, he would move that it was the opinion nf the House that when the Exc_ cutive offered a rewud for th,e repression of crime; the with holding of it, or any part of 3 1 YY9P4d /em i l to encourage crime by deterring. persons from coming forward to give evidence, and would do incalculable mischief. The explanation of the Noble Lord was most unsatisfactory. Lord ASHLEY asked what course the Noble Lord in tended to pursue on the 22d June with respect to the Factory Bill. Lora J. RUSSELL proposed to go on with the business in the Paper. Lord ASHLEY was very sorry that he was compelled to take a course he did not like, but he had been so mocked, so de luded with respect to this Bill for two years, that he felt obliged zs a point of his duty, whenever the Noble Lord moved the Order of the Day, to move that this Order which now stood first be taken. BENEFICES PLURALITIES BILL. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in answer to a question from Lord Dungannon, said he proposed to take into consideration the Benefices Pluralities Bill on Monday next, but he could not say positively. SITTING OF THE HOUSE. Sir R. PE what his intention v is with respect to sitting on Saturday, and what business he intonded to take. Lord J. RUSSELL intended to propose that the House should sit to-morrow, and if the Municipal Corporation Bill did not go through the Committee to-night, to proceed with that. He should likewise propose to proceed with the Juve. nile Prisoners' Bill, and he proposed that the House sit at twelve o'clock. _ _ MUNICIPAL CORPORATION (IRELAND) BILL. The flou , e then went into Committee on the Municipal Corporation Bill, Mr. BERNAL in the chair. Clauses 8,9, 10, and 11 were agreed to without discussion. On the reading of clause 12, Mr. Recorder SHAW objected to the introduction of a clause affecting the parliamentary franchise in a Bill which re garded only municipal rights. Lord MORPETH'S reply was not heard in the gallery. After a few words from Mr. Serjeant JACKSON and Mr. GOULBURN— Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that it was quite right the clause should be so amended as to apply to the point alluded to and not to all cases, but he did not see why land lords should be encouraged to deprive their tenants of the right of voting. Mr. Sergeant JACK SON moved the rejection of the clause. Lord J. RUSSELL said he would rather the clause should be postponed for the purpose of being amended. The clause was then postponed. On clause 13 being put, Mr. SHAW thought the clause would be insufficient for the purpose for which it was intended. If it were to pass, it would have the effect of doing away entirely with the necessity of each individual paying his rates, as the taxes of a great number of persons would under the clause be paid in a lump into the Bank of Ireland. Mr. WOULFE thought that the opposition to the clause originated in a wish to throw impediments in the way of the entire measure. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON had as much objection to this clause as to the previous one. Ile admitted that there were difficulties thrown in the way of persons desirous of paying their rates. —(Hear.) But this great evil ought to be met by a specific Bill, and not by a clause foisted into a Bill of this kind. He should move the omission of the clause. Mr. O'CONNELL was greatly edified to hear the Learned Recorder for Dublin express his horror of bribery in that city. But he would ask the Honourable and Learned Gentleman, was it not the fact that nine-tenths of tire freemen were paid 3/. each for their votes? If the Hon. and Learned Mem ber were not aware of the fact, he ( Mr. O'Connell) could give him the name of the Bat rister who wore a mask whilst he paid the money away.—( Hear, hear, hear, and a laugh.) The Honourable and Learned Gentlemen then went into se veral details, to show the House that every difficulty was always thrown in the way of Liberal voters, who were desirous of paying their rates. If an account were opened at the Bank of Ireland, so that those rates might be paid in, in advance, so as to enable the rate-payers to be registered, without affecting the question of certain disputed rates, the right of the collectors to resort to legal means of en forcing the rate would not in the least be interfered with. The Learned Sergeant (Jackson) had shown the necessity of such a clause as he ( Mr. O'Connell) had proposed, to compel the collectors to give notice of the amount of taxes to be paid. The effect of the present mode of rating and collecting in Dublin was to disfranchise 10,000 householders out of 14,000, there being only 4,000 registe re d e l ec t ors . Sir R. PEEL thought that no man ought to be disfran chised for the non-payment of a rate, the amount of which he could not know.—( Hear, hear.) But that principle ought to be applied to every borough as well as to DuLlin.— ( Hear, hear.) The collectors ought to be compelled to give notice of the amount of taxes due.--( Hear, hear.) But the clause in question did not effect this. It introduced the means of bribery to a great extent. Any person might go to the Bank and pay up in one sum the arrears of taxes due by 500 per sons. Surely the Noble Lord would see that this was a princi ple of universal application, that any one man could go and pay up the rates for any number of persons. In this Bill, they ought to embody an enactment to protect elec tors from being disfranchised for the non-payment of rates, of which they could not know the amount. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL perfectly agreed upon a - • - - • a -a-. oionl,l be paid by the the power of disfranchising many electorb -ti j out eattmg• tut the cess ; aur.ly then there ought tube a remedy for this, and the 13th clause they were now on provided machinery which might, by a little alteration, be made perfect. Every one by going to the Bink would at once see the arrears he owed, and the Bank clerk was made the agent of the collector for this purpose, arid there would be no danger of his corruptly keeping, out of the way. In Dublin the grievance was greater than in any other city or town, and it was there only they had the facility of the Bank to carry the machinery into effect. Mr. O'CONNELL suggested that the clause might be withdrawn so as to be remodelled. There were very few of the towns where there were not branches of the Bank of Ireland, and the principle might be carried out fully and most easily. It had been distinctly sworn to by the Collectors themselves, that on the approach of an election, they had orders to get out of the way, so as to prevent the elec tcrs from paying their cess, and these orders were given by the head of the Board. After some conversation between Sir R. PL EL and Mr. Straw, the Clause was eventually withdrawn. Clause 14 was allowed to stand part of the Bill. Upon clause 16 being put, Mr. JACKSON objected to the onerous duties which it imposed upon the tow', clerks, who ware directed by that clause to make out yearly a list of those emitted to be placed upon the burgess roll. He had been written to by some clerks compla'nin g of this enactment. Lord MCHIPETH remarked that, under the new Corporations Bill, the town clerk w..s the proper officer to make out those lists, Mr. F. FRENCH said that the town clerk would be paid an alditionai salary fur the new duties which would be imposed upon them. The clause was allowed to stand part of the Bill. Clause 17 was agreed to. Upon clause 18 being put, Mr. O'CONNELL remarked that in the English Act a given, in case a person' s name was omitted, to compel the insertion of Isis name in the list power was Mr. Sergeant JACKSON reminded the Hon. Member that the case was different in Eogland, where the list was made out by the overseers of the poor. After some remarks from Sir R. PEEL and Mr. WOULFE, the clause was allowed to stand par! of the Bill. Clause 19 was the n ad.led to the Bill. Upon clause being put, Mr. S. O'BRIEN suggested I hat in case a person whose name 3 1)- p,zred on the burgess roll was of jectcd to as absent, his 113111 C should not upon that account be removed from the list, as it would were the Clause permitted to remain as it now stood. The list itself should be prima facie ev:dence of his right. Mr. WOULFE thought the ozone ought to be removed, if the per• sou objected to d'd not appear to answer the obj!ction to his claim• The Clause was allowed to stand Fart of the Bill. Cla.;ses up to 23 were then agreed to. On Clause 24, Sir G. CLERK objected to the smallness of the ponally upon Nfayors for neglect of duty in omission of names. It was only 101., and in the Engltsh Bill it wati 1004 Lsnd MOICPETH said the 101. was retained because it wa3 though ;bat it would be more efficient from its smallomount. Mr. \VOULFE said that there was another advantage consistent will he smaller sum. 10/. could be recovered before the Assistant Barris. :er, and 1001. could ru,t. The Clause was then agreed to. Clauses to 27 were then agreed to. _ . Upon Clause 48 being put, . . Sir 11. PEEL remarked that with reference to the qualification for Mayor, the sum of 500/., or a house of the annual value of '251., his (Sir It. Peel's) principle had been adopted by the Noble Lord opposite. —(clear, hear.) The Noble Lord had made the payment of rates an evidenc, of the value of the house from which the burgess in order to prove his claim to he eligible to the office of Mayor should prove his qualification.—(llear.) S.), after all th e i m p u t a ti ons which had been cast upon him (Sir R . reel), the test proposed by th e N oble Lord was in substance the same.—(Elear, and cheers.) The question, h owever, which lie rose to ask the Noble Lord was, whether he intended in his amendments to have the same scale for the Poor.rates and Borough_ rates in those eleven or more towns which were to have Corporations in Ireland ? Lord J. RUSSELL said it did not by any means follow that the prin_ c:ple of the Poor-rate should be followed up in the Borougli-rate. Sir R. PEEL asked how was the Borough -rate to be graduated was it by a reduced scale, or was it intended to graduate it according to the 9th of George IV. ? Lord J. RUSSELL thought the best way of arranging the Borough rate was by a gr a duat e d scale, according to the 9th of G eorge IV. The clause was th e n agreed to. Clause 40 was postponed. Clauses :29 to 60, inclusive, were also agreed to, with verbal amend Clauses 70, 71, and 7. 1 were severally agreed to. Clause 73 was also agreed to, with some verbal amendments. Clauses 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, and 79 were also agreed to. Clauses SO to 93, inclusive, were agreed to. Clauses 94 to 106 were agreed to. On clause 107 lx,ing put, Mr. SHAW expressed a hope that the interests of the warden of Galway would b 2 taken care of. The clause was then agreed to. Clause 108 was agreed to with a verbal amendment. Clauses 109 to 139, inclusive, were agreed to without discus ion. On clause 140 being put, . Mr. O'CONNELL objected to Courts of Conscience, to which it re ferred, altogether—(hear, hear)— as greater nuisances had never ex isted in any country than these Courts were in Ireland. . Mr. SHAW confessed he could not defend them.—(Hear.) After a few words from Mr. W. ROCHE, Mr. WOULFE admitted that the Courts were objectionable, but said that this Bill provided fur the regulation of the fees relating to them, which were the chief iOnrCeS of the evils arising from them. Mr. O'CONNELL thought that the hest plan would be to place them under the Recorder of Dublin and increase his salary—(A laugh) -- rtAKiPB pare to provide that he should sit at least once a week. After a few wor4s (roil} Mr. S. 0'.13R TEN and Mr. HUME, the clause was agreed to, as were also clauses 141 to 141,141114 m . . 11n clanse 152, relating to appeals against convictions, Mr. O'CONIkigLI! protpsted against the way in which they w ere generally drawn up, as the greatest ippol)v9ni@nces arose from it. Mr. SHAW said it was in setting out the evidence that the evils ' luded tJ by the lion. and Learned Member arose. The clause was then agreed to. Clauses 153 and 154 were also agreed to. On clause 155, Mr. S. O'BRIEN Made an observation expressive of his desire that the Bill should come into operation this year instead of next. Mr. O'CONNELL said that his Hon. Friend need not be sanguine as to their having the Bill at all this year.—(Hear, and a laugh.) The remaining clauses of the Bill were then agreed to, with the ex ception of the postponed clauses, with which the House then proceeded, and after a brief conversation the postponed clauses and the schedules were severally ordered to stand part of the Bill. Sir R. FERGUSSON move:l the insertion of a clause entitling joint tenants holding premises sufficient to qualify them to the right of voting. Lord J. RUSSELL said that lie had no objection to this clause. The clause was then ordered to be added Co the Bill. Mr. O'CONNELL expressed a hope that a taxation clause would be inserted, with a view to define what the municipal cesses, rates, and taxes were in future to be. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the better way would be for the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to give notice of his intention to bring forward a clause to the effect which he had stated on the bringing up of the re port. Ile (Lord J. Russel) proposed that the report should be brought up, and if necessary re-committed on Monday night, and that the third reading should take place on Monday se'nnight. The preamble of the Bill having been agreed to, the House resumed, and the report was ordered to be read on Monday next: Mr. O'CONNELL then gave notice that he meant, on Monday next, to move the insertion of a declaration in the Bill, defining what were the municipal cesses, rates, and taxes which corporations in Ireland would in future be empowered to impose. Mr. SHAW wished to know from the Noble Lord when the Irish Tithe Bill was to come on Lord J. RUSSELL said it stood for the second reading on Monday next, but that he did not think it would come on until Friday. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of Ways and Means, SUGAR DUTIES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that it became his duty to bring forward the subject of the sugar duties, and in the outset he thought it right to explain that it was his intention to move two re solutions—one for continuing the duties under the 7th and Bth of Wil liam the Fourth, the Act of last year—and the other for making an altera tion with respect to drawbacks. What he intended was, to propose his resolutions, to have them reported at an early period, and then to introduce the Bill and fix the Committee. It would be recol lected that when this subject was on a former occasion under dis. cussion Lord Althorp, the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, di. reefed certain experiments to be made by Doctor Ure, the result of whose inquiries had been laid upon the table of that House. Although some of these experiments were inapplicable to the present subject, having relation as well to Foreign as to British sugar, still the result of them proved most convincingly that a greater amount of drawback was paid on refined sugars than was received as duty on the raw material. Such was the result of the experiments made by Dr. Ure; and the in. quiries which his Right Hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade hail subseqnently made on the subject proved that Dr. Ure was right when he affirmed that there was an excess of drawback over duty, and that this excess might be regarded as a bounty. He would use Dr Ure's excess, hut he admitted that the fact must be proved by other means. Ho would refer to one experiment made with the k now ledgeof his Right Hon. Friend. It was with respect to 9,100 weight of raw sugar. The duty paid on this quantity was 10,9451., while the drawback receivable on it, when refined, amounted to 15,911/. This showed an excess in that one instance of 4,966/, or an average of 10s. 10d. per cwt. Should the fact be controverted on any future occa sion he would be prepared to enter into the discussion. He knew that all the experiments did not lead to the same result, nor was it his intention to propose au alteration to the extent of the result of the expe riment to which he hail referred. What he meant to propose was, that the drawback on double-refined sugar should be reduced from 435. '2d. to 365., and single.refined sugar from 3l;s. 10d. to 30s. The reduction which he proposed making would therefore be 7s. 2d. on the first class, and 6s. 2d. on the second, or one.sixth of the present amount. The Right Honourable Gentleman, in conclusion, moved his first resolution, to the effect that the present sugar duties should be continued. Mr. PEASE complained that 9s. a cwt. was quite too low a duty to be imposed on the article of molasses, and expressed it as his opinion that the duty which this article ought to pay was '24s. The Honourable Gentleman then moved, as an amendment—" That the duty on mo lasses, the produce of British possessions, should be 245. per cwt., in stead of 9s. Mr. P. THOMSON said that the Hon. Gentleman said that his ob. ject was to give the poor treacle at a cheap rate ; but did he wish to ar rive at that object ? Why, by raising the duty on molasses 300 per cent. (Hear, hear.) It was evident that the Honourable Gentleman had brought forward a statement without being prepared with facts to jus. tify it ; and this he would be able to show when they came to the next resolution. Mr. CLAY pledged himself to prove that the bounty paid on refined sugar last year, in the way of drawback, amounted to 500,0001., and that this bounty increased the price of sugar in this country 1,000,0001. or 2,000,000/. per annum. The sum which he stated was paid by the people of this country as a distinct bonus to the West India proprietors. He thought that this bounty ought to have been given up at the time when the twenty millions compensation was paid to the West India proprietors. Mr. 111/ME said, when the amendment of the Hon. Member should have been disposed of, it was his (Mr. Hume's) intention to move that the duty on sugar be reduced from 245. to 20s. per cwt , which would be an advantage to the consumers without any material injury to the revenue. Mr. THORNELY regretted that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had not carried his reforms further. He thought that we ought not to be confined to the consumption of sugar and coffee which were the growth of our own colonies. The trade of the Brazils was moSt valu. able to this country, and yet we were not allowed to import into this country the sugar of the Brazils. After a few words from Mr. ASHTON YATES and Mr. PEASE in explanation, the latter Hon.'Member withdrew his amendment. • Mr. FIUME rose to move an amendment to the resolution before the Ilouse that the duty on sugar be reduced from '24s. to 2.05. per cwt. His object in this proposal was to increase the consumption of sugar without reducing the revenue. The CIIANCELI.OIt of the.s ,, _eon'rieofii - eibehrentahink.t hat the 3CCIUUS expectation that it would be carried. The Honourable Mem ber had raid that by a reduction of the duty they would still be able to robe an equal amount or ..„a it this wcro curtain it would be a great advantage to be enabled to add to the comforts of the public at large without any diminution of the revenue. But, considering the state of the sugar duties and the present state of the revenue, which it had been his duty to explain to the House on a recent occasion, he was not in a condition to ask the House to concur with him in any such ex periment. Mr. HUME, in reply, contended that the general consequence of a reduction of duty was a great increase in the consumption of the article on which the reduction was made. He would take the sense of the House upon his amendment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, before the Committee divided, wished to remind them that at present the expenditure of the country exceeded its income; and was that a time to ask them to sacri fice half a million on the strength of the Non. Member's hypothesis ? After a few words front Mr. CLAY. Mr. A. YATES said that the consumption of sugar had been sta ionary for the last twelve or thirteen years, and had not increased even in proportion to the increase of population. A reduction so small as that proposed would have no effect in increasing the consumption. Mr. GOULBU•IN said that reduction of taxation did not necessarily produce increased consumption, unless in cases where the reduction was large. When he was Chancellor of the Exchequer he reduced the duty on sugar to the extent of 3s. the cwt. ; what was the result ? The year previous to the reduction the consumption ofsugar in the United King dom was 3 ,700,000 cwt of sugar. The next year but one after the re duction the consumption of sugar was 3,600,000 cwt., and it con tinued the same in the following year. So far for the increase which the Honourable Member for Kilkenny said would be the consequence of reduction. Aft,r a short diFcussion, Mr. lIU 51F. ‘c ithdrew the amengment for the present, but would now give notice that in the Committee on the Sugar Duties Bill he would move that this reduction do take place. The amendment was then withdrawn, and the original resolution agreed to. The second resolution, with respect to the reduction of bounties, wss then put from the chair and agreed to; after which the Chairman re , ported progress, mid the House resumed. The Sodor and Man Bishopric Bill went through Committee, after which the Howe resumed. Mr. ROBERT STEUART moved that the House go into the fur ther consideration of the Report of the Courts of Justice Buildings (Scotl.lnd) Bill. Mr. GOULBURN opposed the motion. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Mr, WALLACE, and Sir GEO. CLERK op. posed it. he House then divided, when there appeared— For the in , tion Against it Majority against it —3o Upon the motion of Mr. HUME, the Bill was ordered to be coed_ flitted that day three months. VESTRIES IN CHURCHES. Dr. NICHOLL moved the second reading of the Vestries in Churches Bill. Mr. HUME opposed it. Mr. BROTHERTON moved the adjournment of the debate as an amendment. The House then divided— For the amendment Against it ........... Majority —25 After a few words from Mr. P. Thomson, Mr. Goulburn, and Dr. Nicholls, on the motion that the second reading of the Bill be ad journed to this day, Mr. BAINES objected to it, and said he would take the sense of the House on the motion. The House then divided— For the motion . Against it . .. 26 Majority —3l Th.: Bill was accordingly fixed for a second reading this day. The Leases and Exchanges (Ireland) Bill went through Committee. The Grand Jury Cess (Dublin) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Pilotage Bill went through Committee, pro forma, for the pur pose of receiving certain amendments. The Freeman's Admission Bill was read a third time. Oil the question that the Bill do pass, Sir C. STYLE moved the adjournment of the further debate on the subject to next Wednesday, on the ground that the Bill had never re. eeived a due discussion as yet. The House then divided— For the amendment 24 Against it 57 Majority —33 A ftcr a short conversation the House again divided, on the motion that the Bill do pass, when there appeared_ Ayes ............... No6s Majnrity The Bill was then passed. -38 Lord MORPETH obtained leave to bring in a Bill to continue the Arms' (Ireland) Act. The same Noble Lord moved for leave to bring in a Bill to continue the Procession Suspension (Ireland) Act. Sir R. BATESON pressed the motion to a division, as one which should not be considered at so late an hour. The gallery was then cleared for a division, but none took place, and leave was given. The other orders were disposed of, and the House adjourned at Two o'Clock. The Hon. Mr. R. and Lady Charlotte Talbot have taken a splendid mansion in Belgrave.square, which is fitting up in the most costly style of modern taste. THE HOSE FANCIER'S MANUAL.—B Y MRS.
